How's the view up there ?The good consumer and the capitalistic pig are 1 in the same. A looooooooot of people gotta get a trip to the fields.
It's aromaticHow's the view up there ?
When is it the right time to discuss the science explaining what's happening here?In his New Year’s message, the prime minister, Scott Morrison, said the fires were having a “devastating impact” and warned that the weeks and months ahead would “continue to be difficult”.
“I wish we had better news on New Year’s Eve but, one news we can always take comfort in is the amazing spirit of Australians,” he said. “We have faced these disasters before and we have come through.”
Politicking is what created a lot of the problem being discussed - hard to ponder the solutions without politics being mentioned.It's not a new problem though. It's always been this way. The author of the article aligns himself with the opposition to government. That, and only that, is the point of the article.
Politicking shits me, no matter who does it.
News to me - citation?
I dunno... Thats not stooge like by my reading. And if it is I suspect he has changed his tune, or at least views this government differently to the historical ones in that article.Liberals paying for Labor’s bigger government, as usual
The Liberals have always been right to portray themselves as the party of smaller government and Labor as the party of tax and spend. If you...www.rossgittins.com

Yeah, I'm flailing a bit, but all prominent journo's are affiliated to one party or the other. It's how the media works. Again, this isn't new, it's just more visible now.I've been reading his work for years, I always got the feeling he was centre leftish and no fan of the LNP. Interesting you're reading LNP fan.
Never mind, point is the article about the increased reliance on volunteers to fund tax cuts for the rich is interesting.
You appear to have missed the fact that he is a respected economist and that his description of the LNP as quoted above is criticism rather than a description of the approach used by parties of both persuasions at federal and state levelI read that before I looked at his articles. What am I missing?
Do you think someone other than Ross Gittins (or his staff) wrote the Wiki entry?
All governments have been doing it. State governments, for instance, have long left country (but not city) fire-fighting to volunteers. And have long underfunded the upkeep of public schools, believing parents and citizens can be left to make up the shortfall.
Again with the reading comprehension. He stated that he had donated to a different charity at the same location previously. This is then the lead into the economic discussion about shifting of costs from the government to private persons (voluntary, welfare etc).This is the kind of person that thinks actors are important. They don't get the exposure unless they're somebody's stooge.
He's an economist, not a journalist. As @Haakon said trying reading his other published worksYeah, I'm flailing a bit, but all prominent journo's are affiliated to one party or the other. It's how the media works. Again, this isn't new, it's just more visible now.
We'll have to agree to disagree while we agree.You appear to have missed the fact that he is a respected economist and that his description of the LNP as quoted above is criticism rather than a description of the approach used by parties of both persuasions at federal and state level

I see you’ve played this game beforeUnfortunately by the next election all this will be forgotten, and once again the public with be all like “oh look a tax cut”, “sack the public service they do nothing”, “them immigrants took our jobs”...
